Hi. My name's Michael, but you can call me Frosti. Yes, that's right, another crazy, self-given nickname! This one's the street name I use when I do my free-running and Parkour, so it's much cooler than the others. Also, at 20 I'm the youngest contestant ever on Survivor. I want to win just so I can snatch the title of "Youngest Winner" away from Jenna Morasca!

Wait, I thought you had to be 21 to apply ...?

Or maybe they make a special exception for people whose self-given nicknames rival "Dreamz" and "Flicka" in sheer stupidity.

[mondayrowing]

Frosti is a worse nickname than Dreamz, if that's possible.

Yeah, I really don't get how he got on when he was a year too young to apply.

[thuganomics85]

Don't hate him, but I did hate him wearing his cap sideways, like some lame rapper, at TC. He looked like a little Asian Marky Mark.

Meh, didn't particular care for his cocky attitude too much. Reminds a bit of Mr. Rocky "I can do anything because I'm a guy" from last year who went on to prove that he couldn't.

[RyanCrowell]

<whisper> I thought the stupid sideways oversized cap was cute. </whisper>

[Truman]

I think he is cute as a button...I hope we get to see him climb trees and swing through the air!

[atlantaboy]

I always watch these videos on Youtube of guys jumping from one spot to another. Kinda exciting. I want to see him do some of that in upcoming episodes.

[the twisted one]

I hope he stays on long enough to show/take advantage of his free-running skills. I think it's cool.

I do hope he wasn't the one who came up with 'Frosti'. It's a bit lame.

I will cheer for him solely for this reason.

(There are other reasons why I like him, but this alone would be enough.)

I'd never heard of Parkour until last night, and now reading about it on Wikipedia, I'm fascinated. If he's really a serious student of the philosphy, it should certainly help him in Survivor. I didn't see his smirkiness as smugness as much as happy go luckyness. I really liked his attitude, so far I think he's my favorite contestent.

[birdruff]

I am rooting for this li'l guy. I was afraid that he might be too eager to show off his agility and end up with a huge target on his back as a result. But then the tower of muscles that is James kept up with him and even passed him in the first challenge. I think that serves his longevity more than if he totally smoked the competition, since the Survivors usually try to cannibalize anyone who is not stupid, lazy, and inept.

[Traveling Gnome]

First impression after watching the premiere is Frosti ranks high on my very short list of faves. James the grave digger is right up there with him.

Frosti reminds me of Ozzie (or is it Ozzy?) from the racial-divide season. Very agile, very nimble, very quick. I hope he goes far in this game.

I'm onboard Team Frosti! Go Frosti!

[MissMitzi]

Okay, I looked at the Wikipedia entry on parkour and it's basically what the running-away guy did in that awesome foot chase scene in Casino Royale. Reason enough for me to like him! I am rooting for Frosti to stick around long enough to show off some of that.

Also, he's cute. In an "I have swesters older than you, sunshine, but you seem like a nice little guy" way.

Very agile, very nimble, very quick.

Nimble was the first word that came to mind for me.

I don't know how patient and controlled a 20 year old can be in this type of social setting, but Frosti appears to have a decent head about him. He might be a contender.

[margarita2go]

Is Frosti's application video available on the Survivor website? If so, did he show off some of his Parkour skills?

I like the the guy enough to tolerate his name. :P

[Half Aussie]

Frosti is fucking rad.

[Dale]

Wow, he almost had it in the reward challenge. I wish he'd gotten it.

[thuganomics85]

Heh, I almost felt sorry for him, when it looked like he would be facing off against James, in the RC. But while it didn't go his way, I though little Frosti held his own, very well. I though I saw him take James down, at one moment. Good job.

And I do love him, for pretty much grabbing Dave, and just yanking him away from the log. Frosti has no issues getting the job done.

[RyanCrowell]

I also feel sorry for him, because he seems like a nice guy, and because I think he was probably cast to be the Ozzy of this season, and he is on a team where he just can't deliver.

[shimshamsqrl]

Bring it for the little dudes, Frosti!

Frosti, Frosti, Frosti...why do I want to go to Wendy's, all of a sudden?

Frosty. Mmmm...Frostys.

I'm really glad to see the little guys who are packed with muscle bring it. Sometimes those spry wiry guys can surprise you. They're not super-buff and beefcake-y, but they're scrappy and all sinew.

And I love him for shoving away Dave. Frosti seemed fricken pissed!!! I kind of hope Frosti flies under the radar for a bit. He's a ferocious opponent, but the Hunky Alpha Dog Doofs have to woof at each-other and fight over rank and will cancel each-other out. I hope they're all so busy crossing their arms and flexing their muscles and puffing their chests at each-other that Frosti just scrabbles all the way to the final two. *g*

[Mr. 888]

What. A. Scrapper.

Seriously, for him to continue to put up good fights against James, of all people, despite his size, is a marvel. Plus, isn't being a parkour more about deftly avoiding the walls (which may or may not include James), not running into them full speed?

To be fair, Ozzy's domination in challenges didn't really come about until Individual Challenges, so I'm really hoping this guy makes it far.

[reasontobelieve]

Ozzy exceled in the team challenges too. That is one of the big reasons that after the defection, his tribe was able to remain intact until the merge. The way he led his teammates in the team challenges was extraordinary.

But nevermind me. I'm an OzzyLover. But I like Frosti too. He seems to be a mensch.

Isn't this the same Ozzy who threw a challenge?! But, yeah, I know what you mean, although I don't think it's fair to Frosti--we won't know yet if he's going to be an IC threat.

[honeycocoa]

But where the hell did he get the name "Frosti?'

Maybe he's just a big Lisa & Joni fan.... (TAR 9)

Here's hoping the monkeys don't carry him off!

[YellowKid]

Shoudn't there be a "z" in his name somewhere? "Frosteez" maybe?

[the twisted one]

Scrappy dude. He seems like the only one doing really well in challenges for his tribe, though. His tribe sucks.

[MMD]

I really hope Frosti makes it to the merge. I figure the guy would be unstoppable at any obstable course.

His underbars through those jungle gyms are incredible.

[reinoe]

Kudos to Frosti for rushing James.
